"The Indomitable Teddy Roosevelt" - Harrison Engle (2/3)

[zfdgify]

"he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin".

[redlightmax]

5:16 "And while the debate goes on, the canal does also." That's how you get shit done.

[miiiishaohmisha]

Zero dislikes!!!

The gop did this to themselves & are in a tailspin they can't manage to stop.

It's wonderful to watch them, dirty panties for the 'Base" & expose their true agenda simultaneously to Americans at large & internet world-wide!

They seem to be oblivious of this technology linking their documented stances on issues, rendering them, reprehensible flip-floppers and opportunistic, liars.

[miiiishaohmisha]

NATION BUILDING RIGHT HERE IN THE USA, Bravo!

The gop is dead and doesn't have a clue how their "message"

is lost while they stoke each other to greater heights of absurdities trying to out do each other for the honor of losing to Obama 2012, Grayson 2016,

& Warren 2020!

[JDMarine89]

One of my Fav Presidents

[finnandcork]

wow. you people are all nuts. he was republican, partys like the human race evolves....nations evolve, so why wouldnt the gop? then, there was a progressive wing, now we have a libertarian wing and a religious freak wing....he said , ad nauseum, he was against socialism and entitlements...but also greed. corps arent going to regulate themselves. period.

[humantestdummy]

sounds like the guy who played patton

[englefilms]

George C. Scott narrates. Check out the new 3-disc DVD online.

[Onlymusical]

He hated to be called "Teddy," preferred Theodore.

Who narrated this? I recognize the voice but cannot quite place it. Jason Robards?

[Onlymusical]

He hated to be called "Teddy," preferred Theodore.

[kiptoy123]

T. Roosevelt's Progressivism was co-opted by Wilson, and later, FDR.

[handyman1017]

In another speech, Roosevelt railed against extremists on both the right and left which plague are society. You can see some of these morons right in this thread, using the documentary about TR as an excuse to blame "liberals" for all their problems. All these demogogues on the radio ought to be out of a job. I'm sick and tired of hearing their one trick pony explanations for the realities of our time.

[NegativeCreep1x7]

This video is misleading because if I recall correctly, and I do, Teddy built the Panama Canal with his bare hands. Just thought I would clear that up.

[megjonaslove333]

Incredible footage of the Panama Canal construction! Beyond anything ever built by Americans up to that time, and today stands as one of the world's engineering marvels.

[142maj]

i wish he was around now

[TheLoneWolf1921]

Don't let his high voice or bright smile fool you, he would of kicked the shit out ot Adolf Hitlers ass!

[greeneyedsteamengine]

Great clip, thanks for posting it.

[DavidHanceQuotivate]

Great overview on the approach of Teddy Roosevelt with special focus on the Panama Canal. I loved it! Where have all of the great leaders gone? Bully! (David Hance, Founder, Quotivate)

[coolmamac]

We need Teddy back today to reign in those neocons scum bags.

[PzVIE43]

the way political ideas shift between parties, Roosevelt is a prime example of a president who used to be firmly in the Republican arena while he would be considered a Democrat by today's standards

[CaptainDahr]

I could not have said it better myself. Why do we insist on bi-partisan defining for all of our politicians? Why can't they be members of the "American" party? This isn't the USSR, there's no need to have Kruschev's goons fighting Brezhnev's goons out on the street, right?

[jimmbo13]

Yes he was progressive in various areas, such as business and the environment, but I highly doubt he would support the social liberalism of the Democrats.

[PzVIE43]

its a shame that Democrats have become such a symbol of liberalism, it really is.

i consider myself to be a conservative Democrat, something people find hard to understand given the figureheads of the party recently...

[jimmbo13]

Recently? The last conservative democrat was back in the 40s when Reagan still voted Democrat. You should probably switch to Republican

[MrTabby5000]

@PzVIE43

liberal come from the word liberate(or vice versa),oh we conservated iraq?We liberated iraq from what?tyranny,duh.yes obama was our liberation from bush tyranny.

[PzVIE43]

@MrTabby5000 The less you say the more intelligent you'll appear.

You should have applied this before you wrote what you just did.

[MrTabby5000]

@PzVIE43

you never denied its true now did you moron?You are a moron.

[PzVIE43]

@MrTabby5000 Spare us the "Bush was a tyrant speech." He's out of office due to democratic process. Get over yourself.

[MrTabby5000]

@jimmbo13

he was a social liberal at that time.

[jimmbo13]

@MrTabby5000 For the time he was a liberal, very true. He was forward thinking on race, and gender, among other things. But he was so fastidious about morals (ie sex) I doubt he could fathom things like legalized abortion or gay marriage.

[redarrowhead2]

@jimmbo13 he wouldn't. period. He believed that it was the duty of every single person to make something of himself. He loved the West and Western lifestyle because it was rough and its people lived tough lives that were "manly." He believed that an American ruled himself and the Western frontier spirit of freedom and air of lawlessness inspired that. That is even one reason why America looked for new frontiers and conquered the pacific. His view is not cogent with those of today's.

[redarrowhead2]

@jimmbo13 On another note, he believed in the power of english-speaking peoples. He looked at America as a continuation of the racial conflict that existed since history began. The spread of Europeans, he saw, was just another episode of racial struggles, next to the invasion of the tatars, huns, moors, etc. To say that he would believe in any of what we have today is nonsense.

[realeskimopimp]

@jimmbo13 You know he was the first president to support universal healthcare, right?

[xexixk]

@jimmbo13 Of course not. In those respects he would have been a man of his times as would virtually every other person who lived then. Same with the founding fathers. Thomas Jefferson wrote very strongly against the idea of women in politics.

[jimmbo13]

@xexixk True. The neat thing would obviously be to take their essences, innate qualities, and put such a figure as Roosevelt in todays world, to see how he would relate to a 21st century paradigm, without having first being bred in the 19th century cultural norms.

[xexixk]

@jimmbo13 He was also the only male political leader of his stature at that time who called for voting rights for women and women figured prominately in his Progressive "Bull Moose" Party.

[St984]

@PzVIE43 Wouldnt be a democrat , TR was just his own man and always did what he thought was right . Republicans at that time didnt agree with him on alot of things but still voted for him. Then Taft and the leaders of the party cheated him out of the nomination when he tried his comeback. So he ran as a "Bull Moose" and finished a close 2nd I think, most votes for a 3rd party in history.

[ehunter2]

Yeah..Teddy sounds like Obama..right..can you imagine Teddy Roosevelt of The Big Stick touring the world apologizing for American success and power like that effeminate, metrosexual ,pandering, talentless ,vote whore Barrack Obama

[CaptainDahr]

That's a bit harsh, don't you think?

[joejoeholmes]

@ehunter2 amen

[LadyCaritas]

@ehunter2 i can has yur babies?

[realeskimopimp]

@ehunter2 First of all... Obama never apologized for America, and secondly, of course he wouldn't. Teddy was an imperialist. I love Teddy, but not everything he did was 100% correct.

[ehunter2]

@realeskimopimp Well actually you are correct. Obama denies that America has any real identity

to apologize for in the first place. Erasing our borders, allowing in 30 million illegal aliens and then

giving them citizenship as a means to destroy the white voting majority, believing that the USA is just

another nation of equal nations..no more different than, say Senegal. Creating "hate speech" laws

to muzzle anyone opposed to his "MultiCulturalism". Opposing English as the sole language.

[realeskimopimp]

@ehunter2

I like the part where you just completely made things up.

[ehunter2]

@realeskimopimp I know facts from the US Census 2010 are always amusing.

[lorakeethappenstance]

@ehunter2 It is not patriotism to insist that our national identity is so weak it cannot withstand the things it has already taken in: immigrants, languages, and change. It is fear. To surround a thriving culture with walls of legislation meant to protect it from any influence is the thing that would weaken it the most. There is a reason that we in America allow actions like flag-burning: no symbolic act is as much a threat to our country and values as dire as a law against it would be.

[ehunter2]

@lorakeethappenstance First thing you should notice is the calendar. Mine says 2011. Yours?

Pretending the immigrant situation is the same as 1911 isnt smart now is it?

1, The USA now has 320 million. In 1911 75 million. We dont need any more people.

2. The immigrants of 100 years ago were white, European, Christian, assimilation was

welcome

3. In 2011 USA is a welfare state. 29 million immigrants past 20 years.

11 million are now on welfare. Who pays? Whitey does.

Afraid? DAMN RIGHT.

[scarface4072433]

@ehunter2 I hear so much about the welfare state as it relates to minorities and poor-lower middle class but never the welfare state this country has become in reguards to the rich corporations. GE made 43 billion dollars and not ony paid no taxes but got a rebate from the govt. Put all the illegal immigrants together and it's not as much tax dollars. Yet some are fighting against teachers rights and calling them greedy. "Transfer of Wealth" idea is great as long as wealth is transfered up

[ehunter2]

@scarface4072433 Actually you dont hear enought about the welfare state..you have no idea

that the white middle class (47% carrying the other 53%)paid out 9 billion in entitlements..YESTERDAY ALONE..TODAY it

was another 9 Billion and tommorrow another 9 billion. And we do this by being productive..creating things to be sold for a profit because they are useful..you know like GE washing machines andjet engines. Your welfar class PRODUCES NOTHING..but babies, and self victimization.

[ehunter2]

@lorakeethappenstance

So when does your mindless "tolerance" become simply apathy , surrender, confusion,

and spinelessness?..When will you stop the gibberish and see the real damage to the country?

When will you give up the egotistic self delusion and ego stroking of playing Mr. Broadminded

and face reality?

[IANBOT2]

Whoa! Doesn't his speech sound like a Obama speech! Nobody is tearing him down.

[Sledulus]

Not really, no.

[4freespeech]

Actually the LAST great President Americans had who WASN'T under the control of the World Bank... JFK tried to rein them in by declaring the Federal Reserve illegal, but 2 months later they had him shot. JFK's presidential directive making "United States Notes", (silver certificates, etc) the standard U.S. currency instead of "Federal Reserve Notes", (based on debt), still stands. His directive HAS NEVER BEEN CHALLENGED OR RESCINDED... AUDIT AND ABOLISH THE FEDERAL RESERVE!

[jereoke]

im going to teddys roosevelts house for a trip today the 29 April 2009 !!!
